Fetal echocardiography

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
A limited form of fetal heart examination is feasible by the ultrasonographer involved in routine scanning, allowing selection of fetuses with major forms of heart disease in the overall pregnant population. Detailed and accurate prediction of cardiac malformation is possible in a specialized center studying pregnancies at increased risk of heart ...

Stress Echocardiography and Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography

Cardiology Clinics, 1989
Stress echocardiography has emerged as an accurate, clinically important noninvasive tool for detecting the presence of ischemic heart disease. Details of patient selection, methods, analysis, and interpretation are discussed. The relative merits of peak versus post-exercise data acquisition and qualitative versus quantitative interpretation are ...

Prenatal Echocardiography

Hospital Practice, 1980
Congenital cardiac defects are not common, but their serious consequences make early detection and treatment essential. In developing a set of workable criteria for selective screening of serious abnormalities, the authors used commercially available ultrasound equipment in more than 500 high-risk pregnancies.

DEVELOPMENTS IN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1994
Over the last 25 years, echocardiography has progressed from being an interesting technical achievement to a major cardiac diagnostic tool. Echocardiography has many advantages, including widespread availability, safety, and low cost. These features, combined with its accuracy in providing structural and functional information, have led to its ...

Quantitation in echocardiography

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1987
Imaging of the heart is the predominant approach to cardiovascular diagnosis in current practice. Of the wide variety of cardiac imaging techniques available, echocardiography is one of the most widely used. Standard methods of quantitation of M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiograms yield reproducible, accurate measurements of cardiac chamber, wall,

Contrast echocardiography

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 1982
Contrast echocardiography is the technique of injecting an echo-producing, biologically compatible solution into the bloodstream and using M-mode and/or two-dimensional echocardiography to observe intracardiac bloodflow patterns revealed by the resulting cloud of echoes. This information was previously available only from angiocardiography.

Digital echocardiography

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1998
Continued improvement in the computer price-to-performance ratio and the adoption of international standards have enhanced the feasibility of completely digital echocardiographic laboratories that were initially described more than a decade ago. Digital archival has distinct advantages over analog recording, including improved laboratory efficiency ...

Advances in Echocardiography

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008
Echocardiography remains the main tool for noninvasive cardiac evaluation. Advances in echo technology and techniques offer new information, which will impact both the timing and method of surgical intervention. Three-dimensional echocardiography, in particular, provides improved tools for quantification both of volumes and of flows.

Fetal echocardiography

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1995
Abstract: Fetal echocardiography has provided a means for the detailed assessment of cardiac structure and function from early prenatal life. Indications for a fetal echocardiographic examination and the potential implications for individuals caring for newborns with cardiac malformations are discussed.

Principles of echocardiography

The American Journal of Medicine, 1977
Echocardiography is basically a diagnostic procedure whereby images of the heart are produced using ultrasound. It can be considered a natural means of sensing one's environment in that this basic technic is used by several animals as sonar. The manner in which the images are created is in many ways similar to light.
